Biometric Authentication for India

Biometric security is the future.

Not some fantasy future with flying cars and jet packs but a future that can be implemented today to benefit all of us.

Biometric security is a way of using who we are (by measuring a biological trait of ours such as fingerprint or iris) to add an additional layer of security to any identification that we have (such as the Aadhaar card).

Benefits of Biometric Security

Biometric security is far more efficient and secure than traditional methods such as token based authentications and have fast, accurate and high success rates.

Secure & Scalable

Biometric security is extremely scalable. There are no problems using it for large populations, as there is no need to manufacture tokens for second factor authentication. Instead, everything needed for biometric authentication is already on your person – impossible to duplicate and never lost.

Easy to Use

Biometric scanning is easy to use and simple to train people to administer. There is no need for technical or specialised knowledge, which opens this technology to everyone, including rural users.

Low Costs

Biometric security can be incorporated for very low costs. Fingerprint and iris scanners have traditionally been incorporated into high end smartphones, but Biometronic’s mobile iris and fingerprint scanners provides the same technology at a very affordable price.

Uniquely Suited to India

Aadhaar is the most ambitious ID programme in the world, and it needs an equally ambitious and revolutionary authentication solution. Biometric security is the answer to enabling Aadhaar to open up access to social services to the whole of India.
